speaking as someone who doesn't own a car and bikes everywhere...

a 40 lb litter bag would require a trailer or a good rack on a cargo bike, but it can absolutely be done. an 8-lb bag would just go into my backpack.

When my car broke down in December I had to replace the engine. Another car would have cost a lot more than the cost of another engine.

Target ships for free after you hit $35. Order two 30lb boxes at $16 each and get yourself something *real nice* for $4.

EDIT: And to clarify, yes that's more than a 40lb bag at $10. However, figure out what your cost to own the car is + your time and I'm guessing a 60lbs at $35 delivered is cheaper.
If you're getting a 40lb bag for $10 I'm guessing it's non-clumping. You can get 25lbs of non-clumping delivered to your door for $7.50 from target. Granted you need a Redcard or get over $35 for free shipping.

Petco has 40lb bags for $12. Again, plan ahead and order 3 for free shipping.
Everyday Free Shipping on $35
Free Standard Shipping automatically applies to your qualifying minimum online purchase subtotal of $35. No promotion code necessary. Subtotal refers to amount of order before taxes and shipping. All Free Shipping is based on Standard Shipping rates. P.O. Boxes, Alaska/Hawaii are based on USPS Priority Mail.
Free Shipping Exclusions: Ice melter, wild bird food, live fish & rock, aquatic gravel and accents; crickets, live food and frozen food; out-of-stock items, Donations, Petco or Unleashed by Petco Gift Cards and eGift Cards; items shipped through white glove delivery or LTL delivery; orders exceeding the maximum weight limit of 300 lbs.; and applicable taxes. Additional exclusions may apply and will be noted on the Product Detail page and/or Shopping Cart.
Wild bird food, live & frozen food and oversized items may incur an additional per-item shipping & handling fee or surcharge. Additional fees may apply and will be noted on the Product Detail page and/or Shopping Cart.
Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands or P.O. Boxes will result in a surcharge. This is based on your default shipping address.

If you want to keep your car to save $6 on 120lbs of cat litter (before fuel, wear & tear, insurance, and registration) you don't really want to get rid of the car.
